Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to Ahmed bin Ali Stadium that hosts another battle between Japan and Costa Rica.
  • 5' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 10' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Takumi Minamino has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Francisco Calvo made 7 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 30' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Hidemasa Morita suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' - It looks like no one’s ball. Costa Rica is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 40' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 41' - Costa Rica player sees a Yellow card in front of him.

  • 44' - It’s a booking for Japan player. Miki Yamane gets a Yellow card.
  • 46' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Ayase Ueda by Takuma Asano on 46 minute.
  • 51' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
  • 56' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Wataru Endo, as he is very good at scoring at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 61' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Celso Borges.
  • 62' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Celso Borges.
